Chapter 189
Fu Mingyu nodded and said to Fu Mingxuan: "Okay, then I'll go back first." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" and then walked away alone.
And Fu Mingxuan accompanied Yueniang to the gate of the west courtyard, Zhuling and Zhuru had already gone back to the room first, waiting for Yueniang at the gate of the courtyard. Yueniang walked into the courtyard, turned back to Fu Mingxuan and said, "Big brother, are you going to come in a while?" Fu Mingxuan said: "Well, you wait for me for a while, take a bath first, and I'll come back to give you medicine after you bathe." After speaking, Fu Mingxuan left. Yueniang also followed the maids into the room.
After Xie Bai was brought back by the carriage called by Fu Mingxuan and Fu Mingyu, Master Xie and Mrs. Xie were not in the house, and the housekeeper who opened the door was startled when he saw the drunk Xie Bai, and quickly called someone to carry Xie Bai back. Probably because everyone had never seen Xie Bai's gaffe, they all felt very surprised, and the servants whispered about it. When the housekeeper saw everyone getting together in twos and threes, he knew that they must be discussing Xie Bai, it was not evening at this time, and the young master, who had always been cold and had never lost his temper in front of everyone, was actually drunk in broad daylight, which was a terrible thing.
The housekeeper scolded, told everyone to disperse, and told everyone that today's matter must not be spread out, and they should not let the lord and Mrs. know that they should do their own things and not cause any panic, and then called Xie Bai's personal maid and scholar Xie Bai to help him into the room, and instructed his subordinates to fetch a basin of hot water into the room.
After all, the housekeeper watched Xie Bai grow up, and he was also very distressed when he looked at Xie Bai, thinking: Didn't you go to the young master of the Fu family today to discuss the matter of the Guozijian? Master Fu wants to be steady. This child must have encountered something unhappy, and may not want to tell others that he is drinking alone. Alas, really
The butler thought as he followed them back to Xie Bai's house. Xie Bai's room is very simple, and there is still the handwriting he wrote last night in front of the desk, which is probably also about Guozijian.
The subordinates brought water, and after watching the maid wipe Xie Bai's face, the housekeeper told everyone to retreat, and went out himself, and gently closed the door. The housekeeper whispered to the maid: "Then the two of you are here to guard, if the young master hasn't woken up by dinner time, then tell the old lady that the young master is sick, just a little uncomfortable, so I won't come out to have dinner with them." ”
By the time Xie Baijiu woke up, it was already evening, the sun had already set, there was a red cloud on the horizon, and there was still a ray of light in the afterglow of the setting sun through the clouds. The red light shone into the room through the window, and it looked so dazzling, as red as blood. Xie Bai opened his eyes and found himself lying on his bed, but he was not very surprised, he knew that it must be Fu Mingxuan and they sent him back, and they were the ones he met before he got drunk. Xie Bai thought about today's daytime, that woman, obviously she abandoned her first, why did she still come to provoke herself, why did she remind herself of those good memories they had together, obviously she had decided to forget everything in the past, but at this time she came to stab her heart, and the wound that had not healed was dripping blood again.
Xie Bai smiled bitterly, and then coughed uncomfortably in his throat, which became more and more intense, and the two maids who had been guarding the door heard it, and hurriedly opened the door and walked in, one immediately went to get the sobering tea, and the other took the basin and walked to Xie Bai's bed. Xie Bai covered his mouth and coughed for a while, then stopped and said, "It's okay, take this basin away." After speaking, another maid handed over the sobering tea, Xie Bai half got up and leaned on the side of the bed, and took a sip of tea. He said to the maid, "You two go out, I want to stay by myself, I won't go out to eat tonight's dinner, if the lord and the lady ask, you will say that I accidentally contracted the wind and cold today, the doctor has come to visit, I have already taken medicine and slept down." After speaking, Xie Bai lay down again.
After hearing this, the two maids walked to the desk and lit a faint incense with jasmine, and then said, "Knowing the young master, let's step back." Then he stepped back, and when he was gone, he closed the door.
The two talked in a whisper as they walked: "Young master, it's okay, it's the first time I've seen him drunk." Xie Bai lay on the bed, quietly looking at the tent, and heard the two maids, even if they were very quiet, but he still heard them discussing themselves.
Xie Bai smiled bitterly, and thought in his heart: It's really a gaffe, everyone has seen it. After a while, Xie Bai felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he fell asleep groggily after thinking about it, maybe it was because the alcohol had not passed, or maybe he didn't want to wake up to face this fact.
When it was time for dinner, Master Xie and Mrs. Xie really asked the housekeeper Xie Bai why he didn't come out for dinner, and the housekeeper said respectfully: "Old lady, the son accidentally contracted the wind cold today, but the doctor has already come to see it, and now the young master has taken the medicine and slept down." ”
As soon as Mrs. Xie heard that her precious son was sick, she became anxious and hurried to the house to see, and Master Xie followed. At this time, the housekeeper quietly asked Xie Bai if the maid beside him had helped the young master get rid of the smell of alcohol. The maid nodded and said, "We have lit some faint incense in the young master's room." After speaking, the housekeeper also followed in the footsteps of Master Xie.
Coming to Xie Bai's room, Mrs. Xie smelled the smell of incense as soon as she entered the door, and she felt very strange, why did she suddenly light the incense today, and the housekeeper took the lead and said before Mrs. asked: "This incense was specially asked by the doctor to light it, saying that it can be beneficial to sleep." Mrs. Xie and Master Xie didn't think much about it, and walked straight to Xie Bai's bedside for a long time, Mrs. Xie walked to the bedside, looking at her son's face flushed, Mrs. Xie thought it was the reason why he was still sick. That's why the face is still so red. She touched Xie Bai's forehead and found that it was a little hot, as if the fever hadn't gone away yet.
Mrs. Xie looked at it for a while, stood up and said, "Let's all go back to eat, the young master will wake up in a while, so bring the food to his room and take good care of him." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, everyone dispersed, and then Mrs. Xie and Master Xie also went out, and after the housekeeper closed the door, he breathed a long sigh of relief and thought: "Fortunately, Mrs. Xie didn't find out." From the time Mrs. Xie and her party came in to the time they left, Xie Bai had actually woken up, but he didn't think about how to face his parents at this time, so he kept pretending to be asleep without blinking his eyes.
After the Xie family had dinner, Master Xie and Mrs. Xie returned to the room. After bathing, the two lay down on the bed and prepared for bed. At this time, Mrs. Xie said to Master Xie: "Master, do you know? Bai'er drank today, he is not sick at all, but the housekeeper said that, it must have been Bai'er's instructions, and when his son grows up, there are things he doesn't want to tell us." After speaking, Mrs. Xie sighed.
Master Xie smiled: "Bai'er is also eighteen years old this year, and he is also an adult, as parents, we don't want the teacher to control him, he will definitely tell us what he wants to say, okay, don't think so much, go to sleep." ”
Yueniang looked at her hair in the mirror in her room, and found that it was not very messy, but today she was seen by her eldest brother, and she was really a little embarrassed.
After a while, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru called some attendants to bring a bathtub, filled the bathtub with hot water, and then called, "Miss, come and bathe." After the hair ornaments on Yueniang's head were taken off, all the green silk was scattered, Zhuru and Zhuling saw it, and said in unison: "Miss, you are so good-looking." After all, she is still a child, and Yueniang is very happy to hear someone praise her.
She walked to the bathtub and took off her clothes and went inside, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru asked on the side, "Miss, do you want to put peony petals or moon petals?" Yue Niang tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Yueji, I like Yueji flowers." At this time, Yueniang thought of the small fishing village, where she had also planted a few Yueji plants in that somewhat dilapidated but very warm yard, I don't know if it is okay now? I really miss it, I miss my grandmother. Thinking of this, Yueniang lowered her head and played with the petals and stopped talking, a little sad.
Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru looked at Miss as if they were unhappy, and asked anxiously: "Miss, did we say something wrong, or is the water too hot, and you feel uncomfortable, then I'll go get some cold water right away." Seeing the two of them in a hurry, Yueniang laughed out loud and said, "It's okay, you didn't say anything wrong, the water is just right, you don't need to go." After saying that, Yueniang began to play with the two little girls, and after a while, the floor in the room was wet, and the water in the bathtub became less, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru stopped and said, "Miss, let's go and add some water to you." ”
The two men ran out. After adding back and forth several times, Yueniang saw that they were tired enough, and said, you two go and rest for a while, I can soak this water for a long time, and you two will come back in about two quarters of an hour. With that, the two went out, closed the door and left. Yueniang soaked alone, no one played with her, and she fell asleep while playing with the petals.
After Fu Mingxuan returned to the room to find the medicine, he wrote in front of the desk for a while, pinching the time, thinking that Yueniang should have taken a bath at this time. Thinking about it, he said to his scholar, "I'll go out for a while, you go down and rest first." With that, the two went out and went in opposite directions.
When Fu Mingxuan came to the west courtyard, he saw that the house was brightly lit, but there was no sound at all. Where can I go?" Fu Mingxuan thought as he gently pushed open the door, only to see a screen in the house, and on both sides of the screen, you could see the water stains that had not yet dried, and you could imagine how the owner of this house was messing around just now.
Fu Mingxuan called "Yueniang" and no one responded, Fu Mingxuan waited for a while and found that there was no movement, so he thought that this little girl would not fall asleep again. Isn't the water already cold, and it's not okay to soak like this?
Fu Mingxuan raised his feet and just wanted to go inside, but he stopped again, and after thinking about it, he decided to call a maid over to see what happened to Yueniang.
At this time, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru came back, Fu Mingxuan stopped the two of them and asked, "Where have you been, why is there no movement in the house, where has Miss gone?" We thought it was time to come, so we came back and took a look. ”
Fu Mingxuan said in a low voice, "Then go in and have a look." ”
After Zhu Ling and Zhu Ru went in, they found that Yueniang was asleep in the bathtub, so they called, "Miss, wake up quickly", Yueniang still didn't react, the two of them pushed her shoulder, "Miss, Miss, wake up." Yueniang slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were hazy, and she rubbed her eyes with her hands, "Why did you come in?" Zhu Ling replied: "It was the eldest young master who came in, the eldest young master was just outside, probably after a long time, and it happened that we came back." ”
Yueniang suddenly remembered at this time that the eldest brother said that after he finished bathing, he would come to give himself medicine, but he forgot about it. Yueniang hurriedly stood up from the bathtub. said anxiously: "Bring me clothes quickly, don't let the eldest brother wait too long." ”
Fu Mingxuan saw a small and delicate figure outside the door through the thin layer of paper, and couldn't help blushing, don't turn around. After Yueniang hurriedly got dressed, Zhuling and Zhuru called someone to remove the screen and bathtub. Yueniang called in the house, "Big brother, come in." ”
Fu Mingxuan was still hesitating to go in after hearing this, he lingered at the door for a while, and finally walked in. Yueniang had just finished bathing, and there was still heat in the room that had not dissipated, hazy, Fu Mingxuan looked at Yueniang through this haze, and the more she felt that she was more beautiful and different. Probably because her eyes were too direct, Yueniang felt a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Big brother, didn't you say that it was good to give me medicine? ”
Fu Mingxuan coughed dryly, slowly walked to the table, sat down, and called, "Come over here." Then he pulled out a bottle of medicine from his waist pocket. He lifted Yueniang's sleeve, his small arms were white and tender, and there were some red marks on them, probably about to turn blue-purple.
Fu Mingxuan said with some self-reproach: "I'm sorry, my eldest brother accidentally made you like this." Then I'll make amends for you, you say what you want. As soon as Yueniang heard her eldest brother's words, she thought in her heart, my eldest brother said that he would make amends for me, why don't I take the opportunity to tell him to ask him to take me with him tomorrow when he goes to discuss the activities of the National Prison.
Yueniang pretended to think for a long time, and then supported her chin with her right hand and said, "Big brother, I don't blame you. But just now I heard you tell your second brother that you are going to discuss the matter of Guozijian tomorrow, can you take me with you? I really want to go, too. ”
When Fu Mingxuan heard this, he felt a little funny.
